So why did Cox increase the speed for AZ but not for CA San diego? We still only have 2Mpbs+ upload , it's been like this for 5 years now compare to other markets that already have higher upload speed (5Mbps+, now 10Mpbs+)

Cox does things market by market, meaning every market is different. So question's you have, can only be answered by cox people in your market. To me, it just sounds like the Cox CA market has been one of the markets doing there upgrades slowly. As market's like AZ and such have had 6-8 downstream channel's, and 2-4 upstream channel's for a while now.]]>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-AZ-Speed-Increase-013113-28169837Thu, 04 Apr 2013 20:56:29 EDTRe: [AZ] Speed Increase 01/31/13http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-AZ-Speed-Increase-013113-28169766

Modem motorola sb61416 channel bonding down, 3 upI've gotten as high as 195 down 43 up on different occasions

Does anyone know of a place that has information regarding future speed increase roll outs. I am a COX customer in Virginia Beach, VA and its makes me sad to see other markets get speed increases while all i ever see is price increases.

This makes you mad!!!

Cox could have rolled this out in Georgia first since their HQ is in Georgia am 97 Miles from them and 20 Miles from the headend main office in my area. :uhh:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato_%28 ··· mparison. I would upgrade to a Netgear WNR3500L V1 for around $30 which supports the Shibby Tomato firmware and Gigabit ports, but I am on the preferred 31/6 plan so the router is not the bottleneck.

During off peak hours, my sb5101u peaked at 34 Megabits down and 8 up before Cox's speed upgrade. After the upgrade the downstream was the same, but the peak up was 12.

I purchased a used DPC3010 on ebay for $34. I noticed peak upsteams of 16 megabits (then dropping to 6) and the same 34 megabits down. Since it is a DOCSIS 3.0 modem, the 8 channels down and 3 up maintain the high speeds during peak hours (vs dropping down to 6 megabits down). I would never get this high speeds during the evenings without the DOCSIS 3.0 modem »speedtest.net/result/2507307296. ··· 7296.png]]>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-AZ-Speed-Increase-013113-28008660Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:37:14 EDTRe: [AZ] Speed Increase 01/31/13http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-AZ-Speed-Increase-013113-28005946

If you don't want to upgrade your router at this time you could downgrade to Preferred and it should be able to handle it. You would also save a few bucks every month.]]>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-AZ-Speed-Increase-013113-28002985Tue, 12 Feb 2013 11:02:49 EDTRe: [AZ] Speed Increase 01/31/13http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-AZ-Speed-Increase-013113-28002875
I used to have a WRT54GL. It had a problem where it could not handle over a few thousand packets per second.

However I'm surprised that it would suddenly just start dropping connection to the internet randomly when not even pushing high speeds.

In any event after wasting many hours I caved and ordered an ASUS RT-N66U which should be able to keep up just fine based on reviews. I would have gotten the ASUS RT-AC66U but decided against it since it has no working version of tomato, costs $35 more, and I don't see myself owning any 802.11ac devices in the next couple years. Maybe if a Nexus phone is released with it but I don't see that kind of throughput making any difference on a phone in the near future.]]>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-AZ-Speed-Increase-013113-28002285Tue, 12 Feb 2013 01:37:12 EDTRe: [AZ] Speed Increase 01/31/13http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-AZ-Speed-Increase-013113-28002219
Just did a little googling seems to confirm the WAN throughput will not do 50. Time for a new router. What I have read I may have misinterpreted just googled your router and throughput. I have the older version of the router and it is rock solid just at the lower speed package. Also do not fully use QOS etc. as no real need with my use. If i had to really do QOS even at 25 I might think of a new router also. The firmware can not make up for the hardware. With today's speed faster hardware is needed. I am talking WLAN not LAN. Also if you are heavily into say a media server, transfering large files between computers etc. even the LAN falls short of gig speeds available now. ]]>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-AZ-Speed-Increase-013113-28002219Tue, 12 Feb 2013 00:10:24 EDTRe: [AZ] Speed Increase 01/31/13http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-AZ-Speed-Increase-013113-28002159
I'm on premiere (went from 22/5 to 50/10).hardware:WRT54GL router running tomato shibby firmwaremotorola surfboard SB6120 cable modem with firmware "SB612X-1.0.5.1-SCM00-NOSH Dec 21 2010 15:52:06"

Everything has been stable for a couple years now, suddenly this last week after the upgrade the router has become unstable, you load a website, use streaming radio, whatever, and it will drop out every couple minutes for 10 seconds or so, wired and wireless.I get that my download speed is probably high enough now to saturate the wan port on this old router but I don't understand why even low bandwidth activities like 96kbps radio streaming now drop out constantly.

I have tried upgrading the firmware on the router, clearing nvram, rebooting it, all to no effect. If I plug straight into the modem with a computer I get 64mbps down (powerboost may be part of that) and it's stable. If I go through the router I'm lucky to get 10 down. Prior to the upgrade I would get the advertised 22 or greater all the time.

Is it possible my router was on its last legs and this pushed it over the edge, or could something else be going on?]]>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-AZ-Speed-Increase-013113-28002159Mon, 11 Feb 2013 23:32:02 EDTRe: [AZ] Speed Increase 01/31/13http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-AZ-Speed-Increase-013113-27994159

That's what I figured. I'll give them a call, thanks!

Edit:Called and they updated the code. Everything is running smooth now! Man, getting a good support tech makes calling and fixing the issue a breeze.

I purchased an sb6141 and had it provisioned today. I can see all 8 down channels are bonded and 3 up channels are bonded. I have the Ultimate Plan and live in Chandler AZ.

[att=1]

My upload speeds appear to reflect the Ultimate plan (20Mb/s) but my download speeds are nowhere near max on the various speedtest servers I checked.

I called and made sure I wasn't on a promotional package and the rep said there is no "D3" for the Ultimate plan. Any ideas on why my down is so low for the 150 plan?

My signal to noise is 37dB for all 8 downstream channels. Any suggestions on why my up looks good but downstream is way off of max? It almost seems governed to around 70Mb/s which seems like the Premier but my Upstream is definitely Ultimate speeds.

Thanks : )

What kind of router do you have because it sure looks like something in your network is limited to 100mbps.

You will need a Router with a Gigabit WAN port, Gigabit LAN ports and a Computer with a Gigabit card.

Check all 3 of those and make sure everything is set to auto negotiate.

Since this last bandwidth upgrade, Giganews had maxed my my available bandwidth at 50Mb/s now it's barely more than half of the 150 I'm supposed to get with Ultimate Cox. I don't know if there's a cap on that service but I may have reached it if there is...but before, I would agree that Giganews/usenet was a good way to test...still might be if there's an issue with my downstream.]]>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-AZ-Speed-Increase-013113-27986693Wed, 06 Feb 2013 21:46:52 EDTRe: [AZ] Speed Increase 01/31/13http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-AZ-Speed-Increase-013113-27986652
